I have no clue what kind of card it is. Please tell me what it it. It has what looks like a lan port and a coaxial screw in connection. Any ideas

That's exactly what it looks like to me. Some network cards had coaxial connections.

It looks like an Ethernet card to me rather than Token Ring. Older Ethernet cards had 2 connectors, one for 10BaseT RJ45 and another for 10Base2 (Thinnet ethernet using coax) usually with a BNC connector on the end. I remember Thinnet Ehternet being real popular in schools in the late 80s/early 90s. Dlinks de220p is one of those combination Ethernet cards. A quick search of ebay found one: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5863014042&cat...
Looks very similar to the one in your picture.

Most token ring NICs I have seen either had an AUI connector to interface to an IBM Type 1 connector or an RJ45 connector for connection to a Token Ring MAU rather than what you had pictured.
